Topic: What happened with WDFW pig hunting (Read 4218 times)

Does any body know what was the outcome of the WDFW going in and killing the feral pigs in the Columbia River Basin in Grant County? They closed the area for the month of August to shoot them from the air. Hope a few survived....

A good friend of mine was involved with the pursuit of these pigs, and the first attempt was deemed a success, but sense then there has been reports of at least one sow and seven piglets still roaming around in the potholes area.

My buddy who live at the Potholes says a couple times a week a helicopter flies around the west edge of the lake. Back and forth for about an hour. He's not heard why it's flying around there, said it could be deer counts but really didn't know.

I'm not sure why you'd hope some survived. I'm assuming you've seen the damage they do?

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

feral pigs are considered as "unclassified" so you can shoot them without a license/tag...just make sure you don't shoot an old blue butt next to someone's farm that just busted out of its pen....that will get you a felony
